From The Steeping Room

Our 2023 Winter Frost Nilgiri Black Tea is a new harvest tea from January, when temperatures are still quite cold in the mountains. The tea shows a gorgeous orange-toned liquor with an intensely fresh floral quality reminiscent of some of the best first flush Darjeeling teas but with more punch and body.

Kairbetta Estate, January 2023 production.

Eating sliced green and red bell peppers on buttery Ritz crackers. Someone in the room is wearing Rock ’n Rose perfume and slicing an unripe green pineapple. Lovely guava aftertaste.

This winter-harvest tea from the hot climate of southern India has a strong, unique character that is vegetal to the max, peppered with spicy herbs, and then finishes with tropical fruit.

It starts with a dry leaf fragrance of apothecary shop (hundreds of wooden drawers full of herbs and spices) thyme, sage, mint, eucalyptus, red pepper flakes, buttery crackers, and green resinous wood reminiscent of Camellia Taliensis lateral buds (Bai Ya Bao).

The wet leaves are heady and spicy: red pepper flakes, mint, garrigue, dried flower bouquet, rose, and guava.

The taste is very vegetal and unique: bell peppers, pico de gallo, thyme, mint, mountain herbs, crackers, and lingering guava. Nice to experience a bold terroir with a strong identity.
